Perl Hate

Perl is a nice scripting language – no I will not call it a programming language! – you can do so many wonderful things with it. There are no restrictions. Just write some ?!$$'”&%/;$?” and it works. Sure it always works, but you never know what it really does. Like now. If you ever write a perl script you have to support it for the rest of your life. If you want to shoot yourself in the foot with perl, it has already happened.

I am getting an “illegal seek” – nice error. I am reading out a file simple code 5 lines, one loop. Nothing evil. And yet an error keeps coming up. It does not crash the programm but it crashes my error handling!
